Solubility of calcium fluoride (fluorite) in water is extremely low (15 mg/L at 18 °C) that corresponds to fluoride concentration of about 7mg/L. It is only about ten times more than the recommended range of concentrations in drinking water (0.5-1.0 mg/L). It would be technically difficult to reach the recommended values by adding fluorite to water on industrial scale. And there probably would be additional costs to the industry and environment.
Probably be cheaper to take the stuff out then huh? Because why stop at fluoride... They could add menthol to the water and cure a whole population of halitosis. Who the hell wants to pay for that? I mean when I go to the bar and have a few beers sure my breath stinks, but there is always a free mint in the urinal every time!
